Description

Secure Web Gateway (SWG) solutions offer robust defense against threats originating from the internet, acting as a critical layer of security for enterprises. By employing web filtering techniques, SWGs help enforce organizational policies regarding internet access while also blocking undesirable software, particularly malware, that may arise from user-initiated online activities. As businesses enhance their Wide Area Network (WAN) infrastructure, the significance of SWGs has grown, especially with the swift transition of applications to the cloud and the expanding attack surfaces at remote sites and branch locations. The risk associated with web-based traffic is particularly elevated, necessitating organizations to adopt a comprehensive strategy to mitigate both external and internal threats effectively. An effective SWG solution should encompass features such as URL filtering, application control, in-depth HTTPS/SSL inspection, data loss prevention, and remote browser isolation functionalities. Fortinet's SWG stands out by offering versatile deployment options, which include explicit, transparent, and inline modes, catering to various operational needs. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the need for such multifaceted security solutions becomes increasingly critical for safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining operational integrity.

Description

Archon is a comprehensive web filtering solution specifically designed for managed service providers. It utilizes a proxy system to filter traffic effectively, enabling you to allow access to certain sections of a website while restricting others. With its ability to be centrally managed and deployed with just one click, Archon removes the necessity for expensive hardware upkeep. Moreover, it continually learns from each new installation and scanned website, allowing for self-optimization. Unlike traditional UTM systems that only safeguard devices within their networks, Archon offers protection that travels with the device itself, ensuring client safety wherever they conduct business. Gartner predicts that 50% of the workforce will maintain remote working habits even after the pandemic, highlighting the need for adaptable security solutions. Standard security measures such as corporate firewalls and VPNs often overlook emerging work patterns, including hybrid arrangements that blend in-office and remote work. Employees nowadays can access essential services like email and cloud storage from various devices, encompassing personal endpoints as well. Archon has been intentionally designed with geographic diversity in mind, catering to the evolving landscape of work and security needs. Thus, it provides a robust framework for ensuring security across diverse working environments.
